These are recent political donors from states where Democratic candidates, contributors and activists are pushing back against Tea Party conservatives. All of these states will be closely contested in the 2016 Presidential election and many have competitive contests for Governor or US Senator in 2014.
The Democrats Dedicated to Economic Equality list consists of recent contributors to state and local level races, where they have made a voluntary and significant donation to candidates who fundamentally oppose the special interest, big-money Super PACS funded by the Koch brothers and other billionaires.
These progressive grassroots Democratic donors are committed to reducing the economic inequality plaguing America and are dedicated to providing a level field for all citizens, not just the monied few.
States included are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
